I didn't note timing numbers, but rendering digits in hex was basically instantaneous, even when doing a million (decimal) digits.
Rendering the digits in decimal was significant delay (like 40 seconds for a million digits). That's why it just shows the hex until the very end, and it shows how long the decimal conversion takes.
- zamadatix 7y agoYou sure you don't mean converting digits to hex instead of rendering? The constant rendering of the hex digits as the work progresses results in a ~3x slowdown for 100k digits in my testing (see my other comment in this tree).
- ajennings 7y agoMaybe you're right. I know displaying in hex was way faster than displaying in decimal and seemed fast enough, so I stopped there. I didn't test rendering speed specifically. Doing a million digits in the console (with no status updates) took about an hour and doing it in that page took just over two hours.
